    A couple other options for saving to disk:

    1) The server is equipped to log all commands that any user types; you
    could use that and filter it.

    2) You could install the File Utilities Package (FUP) and save directly
    to the file.  (Has the FUP been updated for 1.8.0?  Anyone?)

    (Incidentally, connecting to an FTP server really isn't practical, since
    nobody's done the work make MOO speak the FTP language.  It would
    probably be easier to write a daemon that spools the incoming stuff to
    disk...)
